Arbit Stats - 24

Alauddin Babu of Bangladesh is now the unfortunate owner of the record for the most runs conceded in a single over in List A cricket. Playing for Abahani Limited against Sheikh Jamal Dhanmondi Limited in the Dhaka Premier League, he conceded 39 runs in a single over, thus shattering Daan Van Bunge's record of 36 runs (which still is the record for ODIs).

Sequence of events, as follows

Ball 1 - No Ball, Boundary [Total - 5 runs, 0 Balls]

Ball 2 - Wide [Total - 6 runs, 0 Balls]

Ball 3 - Six [Total - 12 runs, 1 Ball]

Ball 4 - Boundary [Total - 16 runs, 2 Balls]

Ball 5 - Six [Total - 22 runs, 3 Balls]

Ball 6 - Boundary [Total - 26 runs, 4 Balls]

Ball 7 - Six [Total - 32 runs, 5 Balls]

Ball 8 - Wide [Total - 33 runs, 5 Balls]

Ball 9 - Six [Total - 39 runs, Over Complete]

And the batsman who was at the receiving end of these pleasantries - Elton Chigumbura, the former Zimbabwean captain.
